"Critics say I mangle my melodies, render my songs unrecognizable. Oh, really? Let me tell you something. I was at a boxing match a few years ago seeing Floyd Mayweather fight a Puerto Rican guy. And the Puerto Rican national anthem, somebody sang it and it was beautiful. It was heartfelt and it was moving.

"After that it was time for our national anthem. And a very popular soul-singing sister was chosen to sing. She sang every note -- that exists, and some that don't exist. Talk about mangling a melody. You take a one-syllable word and make it last for 15 minutes? She was doing vocal gymnastics like she was on a trapeze act. But to me it was not funny.

"Where were the critics? Mangling lyrics? Mangling a melody? Mangling a treasured song? No, I get the blame. But I don't really think I do that. I just think critics say I do." –Bob Dylan, MusiCares Gala Speech

Bob Dylan, "Stay with Me," live at Beacon Theatre, 12/3/14

Should my heart not be humble, should my eyes fail to see, Should my feet sometimes stumble on the way, stay with me Like the lamb when it's springtime wanders far from the fold, Through the darkness and the frost, I get lost, I grow cold

Merry Christmas, y'all. Ponder this: Maybe the star of Bethlehem / Wasn't a star at all
